La Jolla Report - March 19 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

"Practice deep water self-rescue on the kayak you use now."

and "

"it's good to wear a PFD and to have things leashed"

These are things that I think can't be said enough. Being able to self rescue is something we should work on being able to do. It defintely takes practice. I use to be in the fire service and this was something we trained on all the time.

The first time I took my new to me Radar out to La Jolla I didn't take any fishing equipment. I just took it out to practice launching, landing, and getting back in from the water. It was a total swiming trip but something that I felt was absolutely necessary to do.

I feel like I might have to do this session again just to reacquaint myself with these necessary skiills after hearing FISH11 sharing his story.
